DR. ALICE CHRISTIE'S WEBSITE

-Dr. Christie'swebsite is an amazing resource for teachers. It provides information on Dr. Christie's 40 years of experience as an educator as well as providing resources for K-12 teachers on technology uses in their classrooms. Extensive links are provided on a number of topics. I selected Rubrics for my discussion.The Rubrics Page explains how rubrics are used by students to guide them in completion of their project and by teachers to evaluate the completed project. Links are provided by other educators and additional links to other online resources. One suchlink explains in detail what a rubrics grid is, its benefits and its advantages. Used as a tool for students to improve their end product, therefore increasing learning and for teachers to increase the quality of their direct instruction and the ability for use in multiple disciplines. I can certainly see the value in this site as a resource for any teacher.

About Me

Selma, Alabama was my home for 18 years. After graduating from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, I then moved to Montgomery, Al. where I received my M.B.A. from Auburn Univeristy at Montgomery. In 1989 I made my final move to Fairhope, Al. which I now call home.
My professional career has included being a fund raiser for 17 years, a realtor for 15+ years and a teacher for two years. As you can see my career has evolved around people of all ages.
I have two sons, both graduates of the University of Alabama, both married and both have two children. I am married to a wonderful man who retired from the Navy after 30 years and we are happily enjoying life!
